Description:
It is extremely interesting and culturally rich „"Ancient Porcelain"“ cigarette pack, made Shenyang Cigarette Factory, owned by China National Tobacco Corporation. The design reflects traditional Chinese ceramics (porcelain) aesthetics that symbolize the country's millennial culture, art, and craftsmanship.
Depicted on one side Tang Dynasty style horse, and in the other – blue porcelain teapot – two of the most important symbols of Chinese art. The color scheme of the package (red, white, gold) maintains the classic Chinese balance between luxury and simplicity.
Above is "20 高清方式型香煙" - premium mixed cigarettes, and on the side – „SHENYANG CIGARETTE FACTORY CHINA“. This indicates that this pack was intended for the domestic market, but such editions often found their way into export via gift sets.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: High – Ancient Porcelain is a fairly rare model even within the Chinese collector community, especially copies in good condition with the original cellophane wrap.
– Condition assessment: Excellent - package unopened, film original, minimal surface age spots typical of paper of that period.
– Historical significance: Reflecting the cultural revival of China in the 1980s and 1990s and the desire to combine ancient artistic heritage with modern industry, such packages were intended for representational purposes and were therefore considered a sign of prestige.
